Nola and the Phillies won't play the Nationals on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Washington.

The two teams will instead conclude their series with a nine-inning regulation game Thursday, which was slated to be an off day for both Philadelphia and Washington. According to Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Phillies will push Nola back a day in the schedule to start Thursday's make-up contest, but the other members of the rotation shouldn't be affected by the postponement.

Williams didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins, allowing one unearned run on four hits over 4.1 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Getting a spot start in the second game of a makeshift doubleheader after the two teams completed a suspended game from April earlier in the day, Williams held Miami in check over 57 pitches (44 strikes), but he didn't last long enough to qualify for the win. The 29-year-old has been very effective in a swingman role since joining the Mets, posting a 0.69 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB over 13 innings while logging starts in two of his four appearances.

Cabrera (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on seven hits over four innings as the Marlins were downed 3-1 by the Mets. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The 23-year-old got the hook after getting hit hard in the fourth inning, and Cabrera tossed only 53 pitches (37 strikes). With Trevor Rogers (personal) expected to return this week, it's not clear whether the Marlins will keep Cabrera in a starting role or move the youngster to the bullpen for September.

Gomber (9-9) allowed four runs on four hits and six walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

Gomber needed 89 pitches to get through 13 outs in Tuesday's outing as he struggled significantly with his command. The six walks were the most he's had since his 2021 debut against the Dodgers on April 4, during which he issued seven free passes in just three innings. He had no trouble in the opening frame Tuesday but then went on to give up four runs over the next 3.1 innings, including two solo home runs. The left-hander now has three losses in his last four outings and owns a 4.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 113:41 K:BB over 115.1 innings. He's tentatively lined up for a meeting against Atlanta his next time out.

Cueto (7-7) took the loss against Milwaukee on Tuesday, pitching 3.2 innings and allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out one.

The veteran hurler was initially expected to start Monday's series opener, but his outing was instead pushed to Tuesday after he reported feeling under the weather. The extra day of rest didn't help Cueto tame the Brewers' bats, as he was lit up for a season-worst 10 hits and six runs in just 3.2 frames. The right-hander also notched a season-low one strikeout in the loss, and he has registered only six punchouts over his past 13.2 frames. Cueto's next outing could come this weekend in a big series against the Dodgers, who trail San Francisco by only half a game for the best record in the National League.

Woodruff (9-7) earned the win over San Francisco on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings.

The right-hander threw 70 of 92 pitches for strikes and induced an impressive 19 swings-and-misses. The only run he allowed came via a Brandon Belt homer in the sixth inning. Woodruff has bounced back from yielding a season-high six runs to St. Louis on Aug. 19 by allowing only one earned run over his subsequent 12 frames. He'll carry a 2.35 ERA and 185:40 K:BB into his next start, which is tentatively slated to come at home against Philadelphia on Monday.

Gallen (2-8) took the loss against San Diego on Tuesday, pitching six innings and allowing three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four.

Gallen not only received no run support, but for seven innings, the Arizona offense couldn't muster a hit off Padres starter Blake Snell. The end result was Gallen's eighth loss of the season, though he registered his fifth quality start in the process. The right-hander has been strong of late, posting a 1.50 ERA and 19:7 K:BB across his past 18 innings. His next start is likely to come at home versus Texas early next week.

Snell (7-5) earned the win over Arizona on Tuesday, pitching seven scoreless and hitless innings during which he walked two batters and struck out 10.

Snell came within six outs of pitching his first career no-hitter, but manager Jayce Tingler elected to pull him from the game after 107 pitches. The fact that the left-hander threw a career-high 122 pitches in his previous outing likely contributed to his removal, and Snell said after the game that the decision was "just smart," according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. The 28-year-old punched out 10 batters for the second straight outing and induced an impressive 19 swinging strikes while extending his recent run of strong starts -- he has now allowed three or fewer runs in each of his past six outings, posting a 1.72 ERA and 54:12 K:BB across 36.2 innings over that stretch. Snell's next start will likely come at home against the Angels early next week.

Morton didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in six innings.

Morton had his best stuff working Tuesday, retiring nine of the first 10 Dodgers he faced before surrendering a Mookie Betts solo home run as the only blemish. The 37-year-old departed with the lead after the sixth inning, but Atlanta's bullpen was unable to deliver Morton his 13th win. He concludes August with a 2-2 record despite a low 3.09 ERA in six starts.

Buehler fired seven innings of two-run ball in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Atlanta, allowing four hits and two walks with five strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.

Buehler got down 2-0 early on a Joc Pederson home run and Travis d'Arnaud RBI double, but Los Angeles stormed back to get the righty off the hook for the loss. He concludes an exceptional August on a high note -- Buehler closes the month having pitched at least six innings with no more than two runs allowed in any of his six starts. He's slated to take the mound next Sunday in San Francisco.
